“…The theoretical underpinning for this study is supported within the literature concerning formative teacher supervision and gender's nexus with leadership styles (Guramatunhu-Mudiwa & Bolt, 2012;Nolan & Hoover, 2008;Northouse, 2012;Ponticell & Zepeda, 2004;Range et al, 2012;Zepeda, 2012a). Formative supervision is carried out by principals to coach teachers in their professional growth and build their capacity to deliver effective instruction (Range, Scherz, Holt, & Young, 2011;Sullivan & Glanz, 2000).…”

“…A review of the literature did not readily reveal studies that determined whether male or female principals differ in their views in supervising and evaluating marginal teachers. This lack of research is surprising given past literature reporting the dichotomous leadership styles of male and female supervisors (Eagly, Makhijani, & Klonsky, 1992;Guramatunhu-Mudiwa, & Bolt, 2012;Lee, Smith, & Cioci, 1993;Powell, 1993;Shakeshaft, 2006). To expand the understanding of how male and female supervisors view the challenge of identifying and working with marginal teachers, this study examined the perceptions of male and female principals' about the identification of marginal teachers and the strategies they use to supervise and evaluate them.…”

“…Female principals interact directly with teachers more often than their male counterparts and seem to take a vested interest in the teachers' personal lives (Lee et al, 1993). As a result, some studies argue that female principals focus more on instructional leadership issues by supporting instructional risk taking in classrooms and provide more instructional support to teachers (Guramatunhu-Mudiwa & Bolt, 2012;Shakeshaft, 2006).…”

This descriptive study used an online survey to determine how principals in two states viewed the supervision of marginal teachers. Principals ranked their own evaluation of the teacher as the most important factor when identifying marginal teachers and relied on informal methods to diagnose marginal teaching. Female principals rated a majority of supervisory methods and data sources as being more useful and the importance of formative assessments and teachers' self-reflection as significantly more important than did male principals. Female principals adopted a procedural style, while males identified with the situational style when working with marginal teachers..

With two-thirds of new leaders being women, it has become increasingly more clear that the face of our educational organizations is changing both symbolically and substantively. The demands placed on public education have also grown exponentially. If society demands that schools become better, then it is necessary to investigate the approaches that school leaders utilize in making decisions.The purpose of this research was to explore the different approaches that educational leaders implement during their decision-making processes. The present study asked 20 school leaders within Miami Dade County Public Schools to report and explain their personal approaches to leadership to determine if these individuals utilize the reporting categories of masculine, feminine, or multidimensional decision making. Following a four-round modified electronic Delphi technique, involving an openended questionnaire, a situation specific decision making survey, and two subsequent rounds of reflection, it was determined that the majority of school leaders use a multidimensional approach in making decisions; however, these individuals did not adhere strictly to any one of the specific reporting categories discussed. The study v showed that the incorporation of several approaches contributed to the decision-making processes of educational leaders.Although contrary to relevant literature in the field, participants' leadership approaches were not stringently tied to whether they happened to be male or female.
